This image links to journal articles, websites, and a video, to describe Parkinson's disease (PD). Parkinson's disease affects the second most amount of people in the USA for neurological disorders (behind Alzheimer's). Parkinson's disease is a chronic disorder that effects the neurons in the brain so that the neuron's lose their ability to create dopamine, a transmitter that sends signals around the brain and throughout the body. Although scientists are confident in how Parkinson's disease limits a person's motor skills, they don't know what causes Parkinson's disease; the believed possible causes are: genetics in the NRF2 gene, pesticides, early life causes, and the mitochondria of the PD effected individual.
